When opening the bottle, it sizzles!
The gasiness is not so bad.
Slightly grapefruity top note.
The same soft aroma, mild sweetness and rice umami as the first sip, spreads with a citrus-like acidity and a hint of gas, and finishes with a slight bitterness and a lingering rice umami.
Lush and gently balanced, it is easy to match with meals, and is also refreshingly delicious on its own.
It is also delicious on its own. It went well with cream pasta with mushrooms, Japanese codfish pasta, and pizza.
